The Night Country
for february 2010, fireball wrote a bunch of words and sent them out to farflung folks to put them to music. seventeen songs came back from that venture. fireball added a little bit to many of the songs, with mixed results. here is information about the songs.

boats & bridges
words by fireball
this place is full of boats and bridges
this place is full of boats and bridges
It's a world of many waters
music and performance by huge munro
kampot, cambodia
up and down the river wide
and the water ebbs and surges
rising and falling with the tide
seems we've been doing this forever
seems we will forever more
this place is full of boats and bridges
to reach that other shore
to cross the waters in between
all our countries and our islands
far off lands we've never seen
there are many roads to travel
many things we're looking for
it's a world full of boats and bridges
to reach some distant shore
we are creatures of the land
pacing out our landlocked hours
awaiting voyages unplanned
there are enemies and allies
there is peace and there is war
i'm building boats and bridges
to reach your distant shore
